====================
- [Misc] - You now start the game with 5.0 reputation. This helps the early game as you can start a Protection Racket right off the bat.

- [Feature] - Added /assignmission server command
Example: /assignmission 11003 to spawn the mission "Bandit Tank Wars"

Hotfix - Patch Notes Version 0.4.31
Last nights update accidentally doubled the rate of CDF spawning regardless of the setting in the file.
VERSION: 0.4.31 - 04/09/17
====================
- [Misc] - In Easy and Medium mode you are immune to Vehicular Assault against civilian vehicles.
- [Bugfix] - Fixed a bug where the spawn rate for CDF was increased by 20% (so each random vehicle had at least 20% chance to be cdf). Rate now set to 8%.
- [Bugfix] - Fixed a bug where mob weapon (in)accuracy was not being applied on the vertical axis
Further changes:
- [Misc] - Easy mode has 0.8x Cop Spawn Rate, Medium has 0.9x Cop Spawn Rate
- [Misc] - If you are trying to attack a base you are not legally allowed to capture a banner will appear.
- [Misc] - You now have limited crime immunity at some mission objectives (Hold Up missions and Counterinsurgency missions)
- [Misc] - Bandits will get very slowly lose their base inaccuracy over time in med/hard. They get more accurate at a rate of 0.005%/sec on Medium and 0.01%/sec on Hard.
- [Misc] - AI weapon inaccuracy time tweaked to ( (15+$DIFFICULTY) * (0.25 + $DIFFICULTY *0.8)/(1+$TIME_ENGAGED)^2 ) degrees. This is capped at 25 degrees
<*> Easy mode an AI will start firing at +/-25 degrees from its target, at 0.5 seconds it will be 20 degress off, at 1.0 seconds it will be 11 degress off and at 1.5 seconds it will be 7 degrees off.
<*> Medium mode an AI will start firing at +/-20 degrees from its target, at 0.5 seconds it will be 9 degress off, at 1.0 seconds it will be 5 degress off and at 1.5 seconds it will be 3 degrees off.
<*> Hard mode an AI will start firing at +/-15 degrees from its target, at 0.5 seconds it will be 1.6 degress off, at 1.0 seconds it will be 0.9 degress off and at 1.5 seconds it will be 0.6 degrees off.
<*> This doesn't include the 2.0 base inaccuracy the AI has, so add 2 degrees to all the numbers above.
<*> The TIME_ENGAGED variable is reset whenever the AI does not have a valid target. If an AI kills a target and immediately targets another one then it is not reset

EDIT: Did a bit more balancing and rebuilt

Patch Notes: Version 0.4.30
Based on more feedback I've cranked up the spawn rates of AI vehicles and civilians so streets feel more "full".

VERSION: 0.4.30 - 03/09/17
====================
- [Feature] - Added Difficulty settings. Easy Mode now gives you 1.4x damage dealt and 0.6x damage received, medium gives 1.2x damage dealt and 0.8x damage received, Hard gives no bonuses. Medium is now the default difficulty. You choose the difficulty whenever you start a game or load a game.

- [Misc] - Spawn rates of civilian vehicles increased (from 15 to 24), spawn rates of civilians increased (from 7 to 24). CDF spawn rates reduced. This is so streets feel less "empty"

Dev Diary 10: Missions and Co-Op
Okay, we've established that you can build houses, businesses and other cool things to create a populated city. But now what do you do in the city?

The mission system in Voxel Turf is there to give you things to do and a sense of direction without sacrificing the freedom to do whatever you want. If you are done building a house or shooting up bandits, or you are just after some more cash you can give a mission a go!

Dev Diary 6: Meet The Law
After the collapse of effective government in the Voxel Turf world, various groups are vying for power. There are the bandits hiding in their hovels, there are other factions establishing bases and claiming territory, and then there are the CDF. The CDF have the most air of legitimacy. They have uniforms, fancy stars and fancy cars. The problem? They are utterly incompetent at fighting crime. They don't fight the bandits – infact they just run away if fired upon!

They will however mob the player over minor provocations. But don't worry - if you follow the following advice they won't be problem!
